Murder Party
During my freetime, I elaborated a murder party for my friends. It took 1 entire month to elaborate the mystery.
Taking place during the Prohibition at Chigago, our players were trapped by the Mafia Boss in an illegal booze bar. He wanted to know who were the people who stole his drug-filled truck.
Players had to innocent themselves and find the culprit because after 2 hours, a vote would take place and the culprit would be executed.

The Mission
Mystery Elaboration
-
I ran the mystery game by logically weaving together all the clues so that the players would uncover them bit by bit
-
The main challenge was to ensure that the clues didn’t overlap easily, which is why I developed several unique mechanics:
-
each player had a daily schedule they could refer to
-
each had side missions that could provide them with new clues or immunity from the final vote on the culprit
-
Clues and events that led to culprits
Clues hidden in the newspaper
Character Sheets
-
I had to write a clear and brief summary of every characters every players played as. The goal was for it to describe the player's character knowledge, context and rules of the game.
-
Here is an exemple of one of those sheets (in french)
